Cupcake Tilda

Taken me two days but finally got to make a card with the Alota Cupcake that I got from Crafts U Love.

Sparkles are Diamond Dust also from Crafts U Love and the toppings are made using Bellas Baubles.

Looks nicer in real life as the camera cant quiet pick up the sparkles.

Mondays must not miss it

Do you think people will notice I am late again?? Oh Well, better late than never eh?

Mondays Must not miss it is a lady Erica's Blog http://blogje-van-eer.blogspot.com/
She makes the most beautiful cards, a lot of Magnolia which of course I love and she creates fun little stories for the girls on the cards, I really do love reading them ;0) So pop on over and have a read and meet all the girls.

Update of last nights walk. It was a walk from Reigate Hill carpark to the top of Reigate Hill, through the pitch dark woods, up to the hill to see the view, the stars and most importantly roll down the crater! So we walked, Oh yeah, I didnt tell you did I? I decided I was missing out and just before Darren left ran around for clothes and wellies for me and Caiden and we went along. I am glad I did. It was something that I never would have done, a freaked out if the kids tried but as it was a organised walk and roll and we were told they would be very muddy we let them get on with it and it was a blast! Picture 20+ kids all under 8, so aged between 5 3/4 and 8 walking in the dark, in the woods, with torches, mud and puddles. Then we get to the crater and they are encouraged to roll down the crater on their bottoms, rolly pollys, even Tictac took some sledges too! Fantastic muddy fun! A memory they will treasure and what a fun night and so what if they were covered in mud?! Next week is science week at Beavers and the week after a walk to a local church for bell ringing and exploring. I am so pleased Harvey is going to beavers is fab fun!

BTW I did do some colouring but not make a card last night, took much fun in the mud!

Lost

Every Sunday night I will be Lost in Lost. I watched the special double episodes last night and it was soooo exicting!! LOL I didnt get too lost either. We had warmed our brains to the Lost way earlier in the day when watching a programme which was sort of introducing Lost to new people and giving followers a recap as its been soooo long since Lost was on the screens.

Today was running errands with Mum and then popped into Crafts U Love where I had reserved a Alota Cupcake stamp. Those that blog surf about may have seen this large cupcake stamp used and its a fab one for the Tildas to sit on. They have also got a lot more of the large Alota stamps and the sofa back in stock too. Mum treated me to a 99p stamp too ;0)

No cards to share at the moment. Just made a big dish of Macaroni Cheese for tea and had my lunch. Harvey is out on evening walk with the Beavers tonight. It has been so wet recently I think he will be coming home a bit muddy. Oh and lucky Daddy has been volunteered for this one so he is going for the moonlit walk with all the little beavers!

I hope to ink something up later so please do pop on back.

Going back to my roots & have you seen the phantom Toilet paper thief?

yeah! WHo else is singing? Today I played with one of my first loves, well not in design as this is a new design for 2009, but going back to my first love in Penny Black rubber stamps. Now I cant wait for the new releases, usually I would have seen them by now but they are underwraps well and truely this year.

So this is a cute little Hedgehog which I have teamed up with a selection of fab SU goodies. The background paper is Summer Picnic, the flowers have been made from their punch and shaped, the heart is one of the Saleabration stamps and the sentiment is from one of the fab hostess sets. The silver additions, are, if you needed telling Craftwork Cards candy. I stamped the hearts in 2 shades of pink and one of red and I paper pricked the sides and bottom of the patterened paper.

Just a funny to share!

Bad Evening, Bad Morning, Good Day

Bit of a mix in the last 24 hours. last night I was in a lot of pain for approx 1/2 hour and then it vanished! But it was so bad I was contemplating a trip to A&E. Today I had a class at the Glitter Pot, so I left at 9am.. driving down the road, all of a sudden I hit some ice and WHooooooosh, I span round and was left sitting on the other side of the road, facing the right way so I had done a complete 180 deg turn. Lucky for me there was no cars on the other side and there was a raised verge which I hit and churned up lots of mud, all my pencils and stamps went flying around and I was left very shaken, but unhurt, car OK, so after calling Darren and telling him, I called the GLitter Pot, explained I would be in but I wasnt going to be driving very fast. I was not driving fast when I hit the ice, I wasnt turning a bend or anything so it was really scary and I was so scared driving home tonight. It had warmed a little in teh day so the ice was gone, but it was starting to cool down and was dark so I was very nervous. ANyway I got home ok.... PHEW.

Good day... well that was my classes at the Glitter Pot and I had 13 lovely ladies this morning and 10 this afternoon and here is what I made.

All cards made with Doodlebug Card and Paper from The Glitter Pot, the stamps are all from a cute Penny Black set called "Hugs" from The Glitter Pot again ;0)

What a wet old day!

Very wet this morning but a had a parcel to cheer me up! I got some new Stampendous stamps which include Changitos, Fluffles, the bugs AND Introducing Fergie a new cutie from Stampendous too... more cards to follow soon...





So the weather inspired my card today and I made it with Changito Slicker M230. The phrase I made up myself. Used SU patterned Paper, cuttlebug folder, SU punches, watercolour pencils and glitter glue.





Lets hope the rain stops... but if it doesnt you know what to do right?

Mondays (opps) must not miss it

I found Stampendous on YouTube and I love a lot of Frans designs. I have met Fran a few times and she is a lovely lady. So hop on over to see the videos... I love the kids and their robots... Harvey loves these robot stamps too... Hmmm an idea for a Beaver night eh? Not sure I want to let them know I would be willing to lead nights though!!

I cant wait to see the new 2009 designs from Fran and Stampendous.

Take a seat... this might be a long one

Lots to share today. Cards, family stuff and other bits. SO I think I will start with my stuff about Harvey. As mentioned before Harvey started Beavers and Monday just gone he was invested into the group and here are a couple of photos. He remembered his promise wonderfully!

So here he is saying his promise with "tictac" Jack the beaver leader.

And here he is afterwards with his scalf and woggle! He is so proud to be a Beaver and wanted to wear his scalf and woggle to school yesterday. We are proud of him too! Love you Harvey!





ject I made - very simple and the photos are terrible! But I made this little wallet with Pollycraft Images, cards, envelopes, ribbons and background papers as a small birthday pressie for one of Harveys friends sisters. He was taken as a guest by Ben his friend for his sisters birthday to see Alladin in panto - which he incidentally loved! January is a very hard month money wise so I decided to make a little cardmaking kit.

Yesterday Eloise came up to me with a Thank You card that she had made with the kit and I was thrilled that she had loved it! here is her card.

I had a class yesterday at Crafts U Love and I had to make cards using the 99p Rhonna Farrah stamp from Autumn Leaves and here is what I came up with. I used the triple flowers on the front of the small folded lunch bag, covered with papers... the next picture is the inside... I used a single flower for the inside. All funky colours to match the papers I used. I left the right hand side open and a credit card sized gift card fits perfectly!

We also made the card above using the fancy bird and swirls stamps. We made our own flowers using the 1 1/4" scalloped circle punch.

Lastly here is a Magnolia card I made "just for fun" The main image was from Crafts U Love. The wording and ribbon from Sirstampalot. I coloured her in with my Stampin' Up! ink pads and a waterbrush.

Saturday 7th Feb I have two classes at Crafts U Love with some fun glitter techniques and folds. Pop onto their website www.craftsulove.co.uk to see more info.
